Place oiled casserole dish in 425°F oven for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the pan and swirl the oil around to cover the sides. Pour some of it into the potato mixture. Mix well.

POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350, with a heavy 9-by-9-inch baking pan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside.
• Peel the potatoes, and place them in a bowl of water. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper until well combined.
• Using a food processor fitted with the grating plate, grate the onion. Drain the potatoes, then grate them. Quickly add the potatoes and onions to the eggs, and add the oil, flour and baking powder. Mix well. (You can also grate by hand; if you do so, grate the potatoes directly into the eggs and oil, and stir them frequently to coat. This helps slow their browning while you keep grating.)
• Remove the pan from the oven, and slick it with oil. Carefully but quickly add the potato mixture, smoothing it out so that it is as even as possible. Bake for 2 hours, or until the kugel is creamy in the center and the whole top is a rich, crunchy brown.

MOIST, IVORY GRATED POTATO KUGEL/QUICHE (FOOD PROCESSOR)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Soak peeled potatoes in water in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can peel the potatoes and soak them in ice water immediately after peeling and for the duration of the prep time. (This is what I usually do.).
• Using a hand grater or the grater attachment on your food processor, grate all the potatoes and the onion.
• In a bowl, mix together potatoes, onion, and all the rest of the ingredients. Pour into a greased 8 x 8 baking dish.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Then lower oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• Continue to bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. The kugel is done when the center is set.
• Slice and serve. Best when served immediately.

• Combine the melted chicken fat (or oil, but chicken fat is tastier), salt, baking powder, and pepper with the potato mixture in a large bowl.
• Pour into a greased 8 x 8 baking dish.
• Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown on top and middle no longer jiggles. Best if served immediately.

CRISPY POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using a box grater or the shredding attachment on the food processor, grate the potatoes and onion into a colander fitted inside a large bowl (or in the sink).
• Using your hands and working with a bit at a time, squeeze as much water from the potatoes and onions as humanly possible and transfer the dry potatoes to a large bowl (you can use that same bowl, just make sure it's drained and dry). For added insurance, you can also do this with cheesecloth or a porous kitchen towel, if you like.
• Add eggs and 6 tablespoons chicken fat to the potatoes, and season with salt and plenty of pepper, mixing well. Heat another 2 tablespoons fat in a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. (This recipe will work in a 9- or 10-inch skillet, but the kugel will be slightly taller in a 9-inch.) Delicately place the potato mixture into the skillet, taking care not to pack it in tightly. (You want to keep the kugel light and airy.)
• Cook the potatoes, rotating the skillet occasionally to promote even browning, until it's golden brown on the edges and up the sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Drizzle the top of the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons fat and place in the oven. Bake until the top of the kugel is deeply golden brown, the edges are wispy and crispy, and the potatoes are completely and totally tender and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with more pepper, chives and flaky sea salt. Slice and serve warm.

Then pour the mix into the prepared pan. If the mix looks too watery add a little more matzoh meal. The mix should be on the thick side.
